kelly Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 ~ ~ ~ 5. Favre paying dividends -- already: We learned the Favre trade already has the Jets one win ahead of where they might have been a year ago. Kellen Clemens wouldn't have won this road game in Miami. Favre was efficient enough to beat the Dolphins 20-14. He threw two touchdown passes and didn't have a pick. His game wasn't flawless, but he took advantage of the chances to win. Thanks to Favre's presence, the Jets were able to work their running game. Thomas Jones had 101 yards on 22 carries. Favre will have better days, but for a guy learning a new offense on the fly, Favre performed with the Hall of Fame professionalism he showed in Green Bay. > http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/notebook?page=lastcall08/week1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yes, it's not like Clemens ever won a game in Miami or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Didn't Clayton kill the trade? I thought he said it was a bad move for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardKoreXXX Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Didn't Clayton kill the trade? I thought he said it was a bad move for the Jets. He killed the trade because (in his words) the Jets were not a Super Bowl contender even with Favre. He said it only stunts their growth at QB and sets them back after he retires. (Again his words not mine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 biggest diff so far has been the running game now doesnt have to content with 8/9 defenders in the box,,amazing what a deep threat will do to keep a defense honest I think it's still early to say that, Thomas Jones had a good game last year and his only TD of the season came against the Miami Dolphins.
